Insights Into History: Episode 11 "The Peter Mott House"

from Insights Into Things · host Insights Into Things

This episode explores the Peter Mott House in Lawnside, New Jersey, a modest home that served as part of the Underground Railroad and a focal point for local resistance to slavery. It places the house in broader context—northern slavery, Quaker-led Free Haven, and the risks individuals like Peter and Elizabeth Mott took to shelter freedom seekers. Preserved as a museum, the Peter Mott House shows how ordinary places and everyday courage shaped a hidden but powerful fight for freedom.
